<refsect1 id='description'><title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para><application>gpsfake</application> is a test harness for
<application>gpsd</application> and its clients. It opens a pty
(pseudo-TTY), launches a <application>gpsd</application> instance that
thinks the slave side of the pty is its GPS device, and repeatedly
feeds the contents of a test logfile through the master side to the
GPS.</para>
<para>The logfile may be of either NMEA sentences or SiRF-II packets.
Leading lines beginning with # will be treated as comments and
ignored.</para>
<para>The <application>gpsd</application> instance is run in
background, but with logging to standard error attached so you
will see the messages.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id='options'><title>OPTIONS</title>
<para>The -c option sets the delay between sentences in
seconds. Fractional values of seconds are legal.</para>
<para>The -l option makes the program dump a line or packet number just
before each sentence is fed to the daemon. If the sentence is
textual (e.g., NMEA, the text is dumped as well).</para>
<para>The -n option suppresses launch of the daemon. Instead,
<application>gpsfake</application> will tell you the name of the slave
pty so you can launch in instance that reads it.</para>
<para>The -o option specifies options to pass to the daemon.
Passing "-n -D 4" is often useful.</para>
<para>The -s option sets the baud rate for the slave tty. The
default is 4800.</para>
<para>The -h option makes <application>gpsfake</application> print
a usage message and exit.</para>
<para>The argument must be the name of a file containing the
data to be cycled at the device. <application>gpsfake</application>
will print a notification each time it cycles.</para>
